Why does Grace need a service dog?

Several people have messaged about Gator and how he helps Grace. Gator will smell for dairy and soy proteins (although her current list of banned foods is much larger than just dairy and soy), he is anxiety and stress response trained ...and he will do gait assistance for her falls because of her cerebral palsy.



 
When Gator has on his vest he is working. Working means he has to focus on Grace and he cannot be distracted. When he has his vest off and is home he can be loved on and petted and talked to. He knows his job is to protect Grace, but he knows he can relax when his vest is off. If you want to come by and see him and let your kids see him at home where he can be petted and loved on just let us know. We would love to have you come by! Today he got to meet Grace's precious friend and neighbor. We showed our friend how Gator is attentive to Grace when his vest is on.  When his vest is off he is a love bug who just wants your attention.
